Robert Joyce Obituary
Robert Alan Joyce, 87 of Everett, WA, passed away peacefully on January 25, 2024. He was born March 24, 1936, in Seattle, WA.
Bob was an architectural designer in Everett for many years. He then went on to work as a superintendent of construction for the Safeway Corporation until his retirement.
Bob had many interests. Playing the accordion and keyboard, playing cards, road trips, traveling, especially to Hawaii, eating cinnamon rolls, but most of all, he loved spending time with his family and friends.
Bob leaves behind his wife of 68 years, Ona, 2 sons, Bob (Lori), Jeff and daughter Juli, 6 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. Bob will be deeply missed by all that knew him. His love and devotion to his family and friends, great personality, sense of humor, and infectious laugh will forever be remembered.

My sweet Father In Law, Robert. I will miss your sparkeling blue eyes and robust laugh. Your one liners: "not this cowboy" or " that's a true story". You loved me like your own and I thank you for that. The love you and Ona shared is a model for us all. You will be missed but I promise not forgotten.

Dear Ona and Family;
Your beautiful daughter Julie was flower girl at my wedding in 1971! I have never forgotten you or your sweet Julie. We were also in Beta Sigma Phi together, and both lived in the Eastmont area. Your husband Bob was such a wonderful man, and I am so sorry for your loss.
From your picture in the Herald you both still made such a beautiful looking couple. I am saddened at his passing.
I will be 75 in May. 2 beautiful grown daughters. 6 Grandchildren and 1 great- Grandson. The years fly by!
May God bless you, and keep you and your family during this difficult time. May he comfort you Ona.
My sincere condolences,
Kathy Pewitt

Ona Mae I am sooo sorry to read this today. I have great memories of you and Bob in Eastmont while we were raising our families.
I think of you all every time I drive past the big brick home on Evergreen Way that is now part of HOPE services. His mom and dad kept that property pristine when it was their family home.
At one time I worked in the same building down town where Bob worked at his architecture job.
My prayers and love to each of you.

Robert, as I called him, was a purely good man. He was also funny ... always cracking jokes.
Thank you Robert for always loving me. I loved you dearly.
And thank you for being an adventurous, involved and loving Grandpa. My kids were cherished by you and that is the best gift ever.
I will keep a good eye on Ona your love for her was special and amazing.
